[Chorus]
A Em7 G A
And the women dancing with their timbrels
A Em7 G E7
Followed Miriam as she sang her song
A Em7 G A
Sing a song to the One whom we've exalted.
Em7 A Em7 A
Miriam and the women danced and dance the whole night long.
[Verse 1]
A Em7 A
And Miriam was a weaver of unique variety.
Em7 A Em7 A
The tapestry she wove was one which sang our history.
A Em7 A
With every thread and every strand she crafted her delight.
Em7 A Em7 A
A woman touched with spirit, she dances toward the light.
[Verse 2]
A Em7 A
When Miriam stood upon the shores and gazed across the sea
Em7 A Em A
The wonder of this miracle she soon came to believe.
A Em7 A
Whoever thought the sea would part with an outstretched hand
Em7 A Em7 A
And we would pass to freedom and march to the promised land!
[Verse 3]
A Em7 A
And Miriam the prophet took her timbrel in her hand,
Em7 A Em7 A
And all the women followed her just as she had planned,
A Em7 A
And Miriam raised her voice in song-she sang with praise and might
Em7 A Em7 A
We've just lived through a miracle: We're going to dance tonight!
